Lexus LX

The cabin of the 2024 Lexus LX is dipped in luxury. Quilted leather seats and upholstery, wood trim, a leather-wrapped dashboard, and smoked-chrome accents imbue the SUV with a super-luxury ambiance. The wide central console in the front creates a cozy cockpit-type environment. The dashboard comes with three display units. There's a 12.2-inch touchscreen unit for the infotainment system, connected to a 25-speaker Mark Levinson sound system. There's a separate 7.0-inch screen for climate control. There's also an 8.0-inch digital instrument panel. The climate control unit deserves mention. It automatically adjusts the heating or cooling of the seats and multifunction steering wheel and quickly makes the cabin comfortable. The 2024 Lexus LX is also high on practicality. The front-door pockets aren't large. It's only suitable for small bottles. The central console has space to hold a one-litre bottle. The central bins are deep and accessible to all passengers. They even get cooling function. There's a wireless charging pad for smartphones. The boot space of the 2024 Lexus LX with all seats up is 174 litres, smaller than many of its rivals.  

The 2024 Lexus LX is 5,100 mm long and 1,990 mm wide, making it one of the biggest top-tier SUVs. It's mounted on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform. The signature Lexus spindle grille is larger than before but is now refined with simplified horizontal slats. Swathes of brushed silver keep the SUV's shouty look intact. The bumper gets large air dams. These aid in better engine cooling. The headlights are typically Lexus with intricate detailing and shape. The bonnet is twin-domed, similar to the Toyota Land Cruiser 300. The A-pillar is now further pushed back. The large swathes of glass and metal lend the car a streamlined look. The car gets all-round LED lighting. The rear-end screams for attention. The windscreen's angle is slightly greater but functional. The flash comes from the SUV's rounded bodywork and new full-width Lexus signature lighting. The split-type design is distinct. The large Lexus lettering scream for attention. The car runs on massive 22-inch wheels.

The 2024 Lexus LX gets 10-way driver's and 8-way front passenger's seat adjustment. All seats get superb soft cushion and lumbar support. The entry-level model comes with five seats with a large boot space. The front seats are bolstered and also enjoy sumptuous headroom and legroom. The middle seat in the seven-passenger version has enough space to accommodate three adults. The central armrest gets two cupholders. The third row, like most ladder-frame SUVs, isn't much spacious. But with the SUV's boxy shape there's still sufficient headroom. The 2024 Lexus LX has a very compliant suspension system. But there's also a fair bit of body lean during sharp turns. 

The 2024 Lexus LX Prestige is equipped with a twin-turbocharged, six-cylinder, 3.5-litre petrol engine that produces 410 PS/650 Nm. The motor is mated to a 10-speed automatic all-wheel-drive. The car rides high and visibility is great. The view is further aided by the deep channel on the bonnet made by the bulges. The A-pillars are slim. The windows are low and large. On highways, the 2024 Lexus LX is a gentle cruiser.

Driver-assist features of the 2024 Lexus LX include adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, and lane-keeping system, a rearview camera and multiple airbags. 

At a starting price of AED 510,000, the 2024 Lexus LX is among the most expensive luxury SUVs. But with its commanding on-road presence, and superb travel comfort in a luxury cabin makes the 2024 Lexus LX one of the most desirable high-end SUVs.
